Back in the day, Batista would have been an opponent for him, but not so much today.

Dean says they were the 1980 US Olympic Hockey team. This year, they are the Yankees and Lakers.

Seth says they got ambushed and that does not happen very often. Kane had some tricks up his sleeve and they paid the price for not being any wiser. At the end of the day, they didn’t get the job done because they are sitting her talking and they are still walking, so they are in trouble.

Batista says that he wishes it was someplace better than Dayton but it was good to be back. Booker says the fans might not have accepted him the way he thought. Batista says they did for the first two minutes.

Batista says that he never cared about being cheered or not. If people dislike him, he will give them more. The more they booed him, the more he did things out of spite.

Booker asks him what Wrestlemania XXX means to him. It is hard to put into words what it is like to perform at Wrestlemania. Booker asks him about being in a Triple Threat match.
